JIM ROBERTSON
Jim grew up as an analogue photographer, capturing images on film. But nowadays his images are digital and taken with whatever camera he has with him at the time. Whichever capture medium he uses, his printed output is almost always black and white. He finds the absence of colour removes distractions.
Jim’s photography has always been driven by shape and texture. Digital processing allows these be further emphasised.
As for technique, he observes, photographs what he finds interesting and then lets the images speak. The work on display is from an ongoing series called France Perdue. It was taken during travels on the canals of France, which often pass through less frequented towns and villages. Here there are many examples of buildings which were once vibrant and productive, but which are now silent and abandoned. As they decay, they still bear witness to the hopes of their users over the years.
